Something can be more than the sum of its parts, i.e. active collaboration can be more effective than individual work in parallel. However, can we validate this assumption? Which tasks benefit most from group work? What affects the quality of joint activities and the success of cooperation?

In the project, we aim to evaluate and improve existing interfaces for group interaction in virtual environments. We will combine the best of them into a holistic groupware system and evaluate its usability in a formal study.

Students should have the necessary programming skills for writing test applications in Python and C++ for the Avango-Guacamole framework.

Self study, active participation in the project, programming of test applications, planning and executing a user study, two to three intermediate presentations, presentation of final project results, written documentation
